McCoy Equestrian and Recreation Center 14280 Peyton Drive • Chino Hills • CA 91709

Renting McCoy Equestrian and Recreation Center in Chino Hills gets you the spaces in your package, from the McCoy Barn and McCoy Residence to the lawn, plus the city's tables and chairs, including white folding chairs for an outdoor ceremony. The Barn has basic audiovisual equipment and a warming kitchen, the Residence has a catering kitchen, and there are Bride's and Groom's rooms that each fit 8. City staff set up their own equipment before your rental starts; decorating and cleaning up your own items happens within your reserved time. You'll pay separately for your caterer, a $500–$1,000 cleaning deposit, liability insurance, and if you serve alcohol, a $500 alcohol deposit plus security guards at $29 per guard per hour.

Yes, McCoy Equestrian and Recreation Center was set up to host both. Ceremonies happen outdoors at the McCoy Residence, where the lawn and trellised patios seat 200 guests. Your reception can move into the McCoy Barn, which seats 168 at round tables or 160 with room for a dance floor, and opens onto two covered patios. The lawn also works for an outdoor reception. The Platinum package books the Barn, Residence and lawn together.

You bring your own vendors to McCoy Equestrian and Recreation Center, including your caterer. Food has to come from a licensed caterer, restaurant or deli, and cooking on site needs a San Bernardino County health permit. Alcohol is allowed with advance written approval: a licensed caterer's staff or hired bartenders age 21 or older have to serve it, and you'll need liquor liability insurance, a $500 alcohol deposit and security guards. Your vendor list is due 60 days before the wedding, and only listed vendors can be on site.

Weekend events at McCoy Equestrian and Recreation Center run Friday–Sunday between 8am and midnight, with a 6-hour minimum, and weekday events run Monday–Thursday between 8am and 10pm, with a 2-hour minimum. Setup, decorating and cleanup all happen inside the hours you book, and running over is billed in 15-minute blocks at twice your hourly rate. Amplified music needs written approval, and outdoor amplified sound ends by 10pm. Alcohol service can run up to 5 hours and must end 1 hour before your reservation does.

McCoy Equestrian and Recreation Center lets you bring your own caterer and your own alcohol, a freedom that's rare at a wedding venue. The 20-acre property in Chino Hills was once the home of Frank and Helen McCoy, known worldwide for breeding Arabian horses, and it's now owned and run by the city. The McCoy Barn once housed those horses and now hosts receptions for up to 168 guests, while ceremonies happen on the Residence lawn for 200. Bride's and Groom's rooms let your wedding party get ready steps from the ceremony. Rates are lower for Chino Hills residents, and a free 2-hour rehearsal can be booked up to 25 days before your wedding. If you'd love to plan the menu and bar yourselves, it's a great fit.

Yes, McCoy Equestrian and Recreation Center works well for small weddings. The McCoy Residence holds 20–45 guests indoors, depending on the setup, and has a stone fireplace and a preserved Art Deco bar in the living room, plus a catering kitchen and getting-ready rooms. The Ruby package books the Residence on its own for weekday events, Monday–Thursday, with a 2-hour minimum, which keeps things simple for an intimate dinner or ceremony.
